The Army Air Corps did that. After he filled his ticket flying in the B-17’s as a door gunner he was sent back to the States to teach. He ended up in St.Pete teaching shotgun tricks. Turned out the “secret” to being an effective door gunner was leading, just like shooting grouse or dove. The family moved down from Urbana, IL, and stayed in Florida, mostly, after the war. The Army always knows best. :D

That’s cool.

Cedar Falls Tactical? No, but the website looks legit. Its secured, at least the home page. They are an FFL so you should be able to look up their legitimacy. MO has (or at least had 20 years ago) some stringent paperwork required for a gun purchase so there should be a good paper trail.

Yes definitely looks legitimate including pictures of store, Facebook page too, but no hint of anything reloading I could see from a quick look. But the OP didn’t say it was about reloading.
 
Many years ago I lived in Iowa City for a while, just a few corn fields away from Cedar Rapids. I will never forget taking a puddle jumper flight and landing in Cedar Rapids middle of winter, they had no real terminal (think it was a storage container) Plane stopped on the runway they had the stairs moved up to the door. Welcome to Iowa! Blizzard like conditions and a walk through the snow to a faint little light in the distance! Lived in several other Northern States but was never as cold as IOWA!

And that was June!

But my wife had family near Erie PA and they had lake effect snow on July 4th. (Edit: not true)

I just made the connection. Duh! Looked them up and discovered they're located in Bonne Terre, MO. Not in Cedar Falls, IA. It was still fun.

I don't have a clue what OP was asking about, but responded to what everybody else seemed to be talking about, Cedar Falls Tactical. OP may have been asking if Cedar Falls, IA, is a great place to raise kids for all we know.

I remember now when they changed the Missouri/Iowa border. Iowans were clamoring to be part of Missouri because they couldn’t take another Iowa winter.

Cedar Falls Tactical and Cedar Falls Outdoors are the same. If you follow MEHavey’s link, you’ll get their website. If you click on Parts & Gear, you’ll get a drop down menu. Scroll down to Reloading Equipment and click on it. I didn’t page through the whole section, but did see some reloading dies, components and various accessories. Here's a short cut to the reloading section. https://www.cedarfallstactical.com/parts-gear/reloading-equipment

So, OP’s question, while vague, was legitimate. It’s still been fun, though.

I live in NW Iowa and I go on vacation to Cedar Rapids every January because it so much warmer there.

Funny because where am from, it's said that Iowa could give missouri the lower 2 tiers of counties and both states IQ level would improve.

You know what they say about Maryland? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Back to Iowa though, it occurred to me during this thread I bought three 1911s from a place in Vinton, IA, Tactical Creations. No reloading stuff though.
 
^^^^

Just stopped at that store a few months ago for the first time as I passed by on my way to Hawks football game.
Anyways, Vinton is probably 5-6k population size wise. You walk in and they got Les Baer, Wilson, nighthawk, staccato, it's a pretty nice shop with a lot of high end stuff.

And a really quick inventory turnover—must be lots of dough in corn & hogs:)
